Those who are friends with me know about my obsession with Vespas. Imagine my excitement then, when I heard about The Vespa Experiment — three musicians traveling throughout California on Vespas while bringing music and environmental awareness to the forefront. Pretty inspiring.Here's the official description from MySpace:
"THE VESPA EXPERIMENT'S primary mission is to send a message to stop global warming by using the power of music. Co-founders Jason Reeves and Brendan James will be joined by their friend and ally, Amber Rubarth, on this purposeful journey. Supported by Greenpeace, the three musicians will ride Vespas up the California Coast, honoring the natural beauty of the West and performing at traditional (club) venues, as well as on mountaintops, beaches and town centers. For two weeks they will engage their fans in thought-provoking ways, through music and honest dialog, while living as simply as possible by camping along the way. In a modern twist, they will film a documentary as they travel, posting daily footage to the web so fans at home can follow along. Fans will be able to communicate with the artists in a communal dialog as they seek to change the world together."
Their first time doing this type of tour, the musicians need your support. If you'd like to help write to vespaexperiment@gmail.com. They'll hook you up with promo material, tickets to shows, CD's and more! Man, I wish I lived in California right about now!

What a lame idea. Global warming is a myth.
Vespas are cool though.
To each is own. Personally, anything that brings music and vespas together I'm all for.
sounds like a great effort by these singers/songwriters. will check it out, thanks!
I have a huge fascination with Vespas! Some people into motorcycles and sports cars but scooters are my thing. That's an awesome idea! Music and Vespas. So stellar. Thanks for sharing.

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our society, and I am fairly confident when I say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes cheaper, the possibility of downloading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.
